Trump: This rally is better than the "phony" correspondents' dinner

President Trump spoke for nearly two hours at a rally in Michigan. Meanwhile, back in Washington, DC, journalists are gathering for the annual dinner that celebrates the First Amendment — an event that previous presidents attended yearly.

President Trump, speaking his rally, took a jab at the White House correspondents' dinner he's missing back in Washington.

"By the way, is this better than that phony Washington White House correspondents' dinner? Is this more fun? I could be up there tonight smiling like I love when they're hitting you. Shot after shot, these people they hate your guts. Shot."

Trump on Comey: "I did you a great favor when I fired this guy"

President Trump said he did the US "a great favor" when he fired former FBI Director James Comey.

"Watch the way he lies. It's the most incredible thing. Comey's a liar and a leaker. You know, I did you a great favor when I fired this guy."

Comey is currently promoting his new book, "A Higher Loyalty." In it, he paints Trump as a relentless liar who is obsessively unethical, devoid of humanity and a slave to his ego, who is clueless about his job and unconcerned about a Russian assault on American democracy.

Crowd chants "Nobel! Nobel" as Trump talks North Korea

President Trump told a rally in Michigan “we are not playing games” when it comes to North Korea.

As he mentioned the strained relationship between the US and North Korea three to four months ago with some predictions of a possible nuclear war, people in the audience started chanting “Nobel!”

"Peace is going to keep us out of nuclear war," Trump said.

He said the world went from having a potential disaster, but the Olympics and North Korea’s participation helped to turn things around.

Trump said he thinks he and Kim are going to have a meeting in the next three to four weeks. Trump said Friday there are two possible locations for the meeting.

Trump: I have five people who want to run the VA

Just days after Dr. Ronny Jackson withdrew his nomination to lead Veterans Affairs amid allegations of misconduct, President Trump told a cheering crowd in Michigan that he has five people who want to run the department.

Trump then brought up Sen. Jon Tester, saying what he did to Dr. Jackson was a "disgrace." (Tester is the top Democrat on the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee. He raised concerns about allegations against Jackson, including that he loosely handled prescription pain medications, was intoxicated during an overseas trip, and created a toxic work environment.)
